In the meditative stage you are the creator and manifestation happens according to your will. In the dream stage, you do not get your desired dreams even if you will. In meditative stage you are the creator. Swami Vivekananda once asked his guru Swami Ramakrishna Paramahamsa to show him the God. Paramahamsa meditated and made Mother Kali to appear before both of them. Paramahamsa subsequently said that Mother Kali was created purely out of his will and manifestation. But all of us cannot be Paramahamsa. Why I am discussing this incident here is that we can also achieve, provided we have the will to achieve. The will can be developed over a period of time and by dedicated practice. It is said that God does not have form. This is true also. But we give different forms to the form of the formless. We have so many forms of Gods, all created out of pure consciousness of the highly realised persons. They not only created a form of their choice, but they identified the form as their Supreme. They sang and danced, cried and laughed and reached a stage of extreme ecstasy.
In the same way you can also create a form to your liking in your manifestation. Believe me; this form will extend all help to you, whenever you need help. You have to use your will and consciousness to create such a form. The difference between us and the realised souls is that they call their creation as God and we do not realise the form as God. We get ourselves attached to the form we created, and seek from it material prosperity. It also gives material prosperity. Totally engrossed with the wonders of the form, we forget that the form is nothing but our own willed consciousness. We should know that we derive our individual consciousness from the consciousness of the Supreme. This means that the form we created out of our own consciousness is also the creation of the Supreme Consciousness. That is why this form is willing to help us in times of our need.
You can create this form provided your karmic account is in your favour. We should not confuse illusion with manifestation. Illusion is an erroneous mental representation. This is also called maya. Manifestation is appearance in bodily form. By manifestation we can create and by illusion or maya we are deceived. Take the case of mirage. This is an illusion and not in existence though it appears to be in existence. This does not have a bodily form. By a process of profound and continuous contemplation, a stage that is called meditation, a form is created and life infused only in that stage. Illusion is deception whereas manifestation is not. I am saying this here because all of should not underestimate what we are capable of. We should never undermine our capabilities. Undermining our capabilities and capacities is undermining the qualities of God. This means that we are in no way different from God. We will now proceed to continue with our practice from the next posting onwards.

Namste krishna ji, tivra ji and other sincere sadhaks, let's assume this world is maya then the whole point of saving it going to lengths by vallar, rishi, saint even devta seems ridiculous, why would a realised being go to para lok for solution to save this world? For example venerable Tīvra ji is going through principal of sri Vidya aham=idam if we understand this what tivra ji is basically trying to saying is I'm going to make illusion real which means false becomes truth which is more ridiculous maya= truth. But if we assume maya to be true from the start it makes sense. Create, sustain, destroy, concealment and revelation which happens a process told by tivra ji, which means maya is on-par with kadi panchdashi and Mantra of maa kamakali. Although world was there for temporary moment nonetheless it was true to say after healing of wound that wound is false since it no longer exists i think it's wrong. What i think is so far what definition and understanding of maya has been understood is totally different than what maya actually is. With aham= idam principal maya with is understood to be illusion became real. So now question arises was maya real or not or was totally something else than what was understood so far or is it something that stands between junction of illusion and reality. What i think maya is not false but rather something misunderstood because to say maya is false means to declare devi is false. I think the nature of maya is being kept hidden same way hadi turiyamba, sadi vidya are kept hidden due to their power and are being told as something non important or not worth. Tīvra ji can you please shed some of your wisdom and insight.

this article touches a magical principle, but it is not tantric in nature, and i deeply doubt if it is useful alone, without context. Tantra is a flow of Guru's illusion, Mahamaya itself, unillusory because of the direct Will of Devi - to give sadhaka an illusion above all illusions, that is reflexive to its Source, and that leads to the Source Supreme. aham=idam is not a principle of philosophy, but a great achievement, that is possible through tivra sadhana & Guru anugraham. Guru is not a mentor but God. Ishta Devata is not a good imaginative creation that we make and start believing in; it is a primordial channel for the Will of True Guru, it is Essence of Guru. here is a great difference between the Western Ceremonial approach, that constructs Godforms to manage flows of Power, where good magicians say that gods are not to worship but to work with, and Tantra, which is able only through complete surrender to Guru, through only will to make Guru's "illusion" defeat the illusion of ego, thus having a chance to exit ilusion at all. there is no sence to think about nature of maya, as maya is the very nature of thinking. thank you for reading, and may God bless us with wisdom, if we can hold it.
